The Native Livestock Breeds need to be Redefined and Redocumented
Dr. Abdul Raziq Kakar had been working with the pastoral people since 2004 while characterizing & documenting and reporting the livestock breeds and indigenous knowledge, especially related to the camel. He has already characterized, documented, and reported breeds of sheep, goat, cattle, and camels which were not discovered before. The time has reached to redefine the role of native livestock breeds, especially the long-walking livestock, spreading the seeds, and revitalizing the soil fertility and nature.
